Misson Statement: Middle Ground: A TRP Photographic Journey is a personal project that allows me to connect with people, their communities, and share their stories. What better way to find the middle of a divided country than to travel to its geographical center in Lebanon, Kansas, and back, meeting individuals from all walks of life along the way. By engaging with people from all backgrounds—regardless of political stance, location, or status—I aim to highlight the common threads that unite us. Along the way, I’ll capture the beauty of our differences and similarities, offering a view of the middle ground we all share through conversation and my camera.

ASK: Are there any family friends or people I should connect with along the route? I am looking for photographers, families, places to stay, yards to tent in, possible supporters/sponsors (a Kickstarter might be arranged), and suggestions. Contact me here.
